That's why.

We're going to vote.

We're with you.

No, you can't go in.

Damn scabies.

Don't use that word

if you don't know what it means, friend.

L! means you're damn strike breakers.

It means "squirrel" in Catalan, a**hole.

A small pet in its cage, like you,

in that f***ing cage you built.

- Open up.

- Damn you, Sombra.

- What's up, Manchas?

- How's it hanging, Oso?

Don't luck up again.

You let the wrong ones in

and keep the right ones out.

Pay attention, dude.

- What's up, man?

- How are tricks, Oso?

Give me a lift, okay?

We're going to the auditorium.

Give us a break, man.

Sure, Oso.

COLLEGE CAMPUS:

I think the ideas are okay.

But that's why you get confused

when cleaning bathrooms

because you think that organizations

are the leaders of the revolution

and the revolution is only in big events.

Bu! the event of washing a bathroom

or cooking for your companions

is a revolutionary event.

Don't people have a right

to be in the middle?

It depends,

I'm not defending that right.

I mean, I respect it and all.

I let you in, didn't I?

- You and this dude.

- But it's our school, man.

It's not your call who gets in.

Why should you have to let me in,

when it's not yours?

It belongs to me and you

and a lot of people

who never get to come here.

Only the group inside

has a right to an opinion,

and the others are out

because they didn't join the consensus,

they didn't come.

- Then it isn't an inclusive movement.

- Because there's no structure.

Exactly, so whoever

is not in the structure is outside.

- That's how the PRI was formed.

- No, that's not true.

You don't want to be on strike?

What are you doing to change things?

If I don't accept your position -

Aside from rotting in your room,

what do you do, dude?

If I don't accept your position -

You're rotting in your room

and no! bathing, stealing electricity.

What other sh*t do you do?

Do I have to accept other people

imposing on me?

Are you saying they steal your electricity?

What do you think about

the screenplay of this movie?

The screenplay?

Man, it's really good.

No, tell us the truth.

Tell the truth. Say it, man. Go.

- What?

- Elaborate.

I've said it many times

about the screenplay of this movie.

Personally, I think it's pretty bad.

I think it's a chase movie.

- F*** it, man, whatever.

- And about getting beaten up.

You leave your barrio and get chased.

And besides being chased,

the car doesn't start.

You go to the assembly

and get chased.

And besides,

you are the heroes of the movie.

The antiheroes.

No, man, you're the heroes.

That's what doesn't seem right to me.

Where are you going?

- To the assembly.

- To the assembly, right?

Okay, man,

I'm going to clean bathrooms.

Take care.

Take care, bro.

Maybe you can learn more

than these wusses.

See you, pretty boys.

Hey, speaking of brunettes,

there's Sombrilla.

Sh*t.

Hey there, counselor, what's up?

And Santos, if you can believe it.

I thought you'd gone to another country.

Look, this is my kid brother.

He really is from abroad.

He must be foreign,

he looks undercooked, man.

- How are you?

- Fine.

- Must've been no wood for the stove.

- That's it.

I'm glad you made I! to the assembly,

it's looking had.

I smell onions.

The guys from the main market

gave us five tons of onions,

and the damn things never end.

Onion soup, onion pie,

everything with f***ing onions.

It's the smell of the strike.

I quote Marti.

"A school is a forge for spirits.

Friends,

we have spirit but we lack temper,

and temper is the brother of temperance."

The Poli Sci Department proposal of

taking over the TV stations tomorrow night,

far from creating the good will we want,

is only going to make us

more enemies.

The Latin American Studies Department

proposes instead

a silent march to the TV stations.

We need to reach an agreement.

Is that the one from the radio?

There are factions among us

who keep making statements

and yelling slogans not included

in the petition signed by the majority.

Tell the gera to shut up

and yank my dick!

The media keeps calling us bums,

fossils, comfort seekers, rich kids.

They yell a! us on the streets

lo go back (o school,

and, friends, that shows

media manipulation

but also our inability to agree.

Excuse me,

but what we need is a broader base

that includes everyone and where

we all back the demands of everyone.

That's it!

How the f*** can you say we are not

the voice of the others at this point?

There are a bunch of people

in this country no one listens to.

Who's he?

- Nobody.

- Her boyfriend.

- He's nobody.

- Her boyfriend.

That's the typical bourgeois

neoliberal altitude of the UNAM wusses.

The way to fight neoliberalism

is by defending public education, a**hole.

Friend, I'm going to ask you

no! lo get personal, okay?

What do you mean,

"Don't get personal," Anita?

Come off it.

This movement is personal and anyone

who doesn't think so can f*** off!

Striptease! Striptease!

I don't want to get personal,

or else we'll have to talk about the guys

who use the movement

to hit on really young girls,

because before the strike

they couldn't even score in the morgue.

Shut up, you classist whore!

Who's talking about classes?

The thing is to beat the dean

and be strong at the march tomorrow.

I'd rather see her strip!

Striptease! Striptease!

Shut up, a**hole,

and let her talk, naco!

What are you doing?

Who did you call naco, dipshit?

You, a**hole, and your dad

and your f*ggot grandpa!

You prick!

Tell it to my face, a**hole.

- How much is the government paying you?

- The f*** I get paid, you PRD plant.

- You don't even know what naco means.

- And you do, a**hole.

It means "cactus"

in the Opata language.

- Get in touch with your roots, punk.

- Sure thing, Mr. Cactus Head.

What are you doing, man?

Let's go.

Firs! educate

the children of the workers!

Later educate

the children of the bourgeois!

Firs! educate

the children of the workers!

Later educate

the children of the bourgeois!

TO BE YOUNG AND NOT A

REVOLUTIONARY IS A CONTRADICTION

What are you doing here?

Are you crazy?

You'll get yourself killed.

They won't kill me. Don't worry.

Say, "Hi," then.

Hi, Ani.

- How are you?

- Fine.

And you?

This is my little brother Tomas.

Bu! you're not dark-skinned

like your brother.

You're better looking than he is.

Nice to meet you.

Now, let's get out of here.

How long have you been

away from home?

This is my home.

These are my brothers.

Cut the crap.

These dudes hate you.

They don't hate me.

That's the point, to argue.

Brothers argue.

My dorm, it sucks.

The whole gang from Spanish Literature

and Latin American Studies is here.

This is the posh part.

English literature, French literature,

the best zip codes,

and they have mattresses and all.

And what have you

and your brothers achieved?

Are you serious?

First off, you'll have to drop out
